Hi there! When flashing an image onto an SD card, Etcher always says ‘Flash Failed’ during verification (after flash is complete). Loading the card into a Raspberry Pi 4 gets me an error screen with ‘kernel panic’. (When I use win-32 disk imager I get no errors (I assume it doesn’t verify after writing), but the same thing happens on the Rpi afterward.) I’m guessing I’ve got an issue with my SD Card or image file? I’m wondering if this log can point me toward a forward direction: > Verifying 1 device, 9% at 10.40 MB/s (total 10.40 MB/s) eta in 299s with 0 failed devices > gui.js:46 Thu Jan 20 2022 17:15:43 GMT+1300 (New Zealand Daylight Time) Validation error ({“image”:{“size”:3972005888,“name”:“2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img”,“hasMBR”:true,“partitions”:[{“offset”:4194304,“size”:268435456,“type”:12,“index”:1},{“offset”:272629760,“size”:3699376128,“type”:131,“index”:2}],“extension”:“img”,“path”:“H:\Image\2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img”},“drives”:[{“size”:33555480576,“isVirtual”:false,“enumerator”:“USBSTOR”,“logicalBlockSize”:512,“raw”:“\\.\PhysicalDrive5”,“error”:null,“isReadOnly”:false,“displayName”:“Q:\, “}],“description”:“Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device”,“isUAS”:false,“partitionTableType”:“mbr”}],“driveCount”:1,“uuid”:“641c140b-e034-4223-b89b-5c62f75e98fd”,“flashInstanceUuid”:“641c140b-e034-4223-b89b-5c62f75e98fd”,“sample”:0.1,“applicationSessionUuid”:“1cf0c166-7b03-42f3-9287-7d7219dd5572”,“flashingWorkflowUuid”:“214f1957-dc28-428e-b0ef-721a5ed89840”}) > gui.js:35 Verifying 1 device, 9% at 9.90 MB/s (total 9.90 MB/s) eta in 314s with 0 failed devices > gui.js:46 Finish: 324009984 > gui.js:46 Terminating IPC server > gui.js:46 Flash results Object > gui.js:46 Thu Jan 20 2022 17:15:59 GMT+1300 (New Zealand Daylight Time) Done ({“image”:{“size”:3972005888,“name”:“2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img”,“hasMBR”:true,“partitions”:[{“offset”:4194304,“size”:268435456,“type”:12,“index”:1},{“offset”:272629760,“size”:3699376128,“type”:131,“index”:2}],“extension”:“img”,“path”:“H:\Image\2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img”},“drives”:[{“size”:33555480576,“isVirtual”:false,“enumerator”:“USBSTOR”,“logicalBlockSize”:512,“raw”:”\\.\PhysicalDrive5”,“error”:null,“isReadOnly”:false,“displayName”:“Q:\, “}],“description”:“Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device”,“isUAS”:false,“partitionTableType”:“mbr”}],“driveCount”:1,“uuid”:“641c140b-e034-4223-b89b-5c62f75e98fd”,“status”:“finished”,“flashInstanceUuid”:“641c140b-e034-4223-b89b-5c62f75e98fd”,“errors”:[{“name”:“Error”,“description”:“Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device”,“code”:“EVALIDATION”,“device”:”\\.\PhysicalDrive5”}],“devices”:{“failed”:1,“successful”:0},“bytesWritten”:324009984,“sourceMetadata”:{“size”:3972005888,“name”:“2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img”,“blocks”:[{“blocks”:[{“offset”:0,“length”:326107136}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:406847488,“length”:144703488}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:555745280,“length”:1975517184}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:2554331136,“length”:373293056}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:2928672768,“length”:19922944}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:2950692864,“length”:4194304}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:2955935744,“length”:10485760}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:2967470080,“length”:3145728}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:2973761536,“length”:13631488}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:2989490176,“length”:34603008}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3029336064,“length”:3145728}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3036676096,“length”:27262976}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3064987648,“length”:6291456}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3072327680,“length”:382730240}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3456106496,“length”:1048576}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3458203648,“length”:1048576}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3460300800,“length”:38797312}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3502243840,“length”:67108864}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3628072960,“length”:1048576}]},{“blocks”:[{“offset”:3896508416,“length”:1048576}]}],“blockmappedSize”:3435134976},“sample”:0.1,“applicationSessionUuid”:“1cf0c166-7b03-42f3-9287-7d7219dd5572”,“flashingWorkflowUuid”:“214f1957-dc28-428e-b0ef-721a5ed89840”}) > gui.js:46 Thu Jan 20 2022 17:16:00 GMT+1300 (New Zealand Daylight Time) SafeWebview loaded ({“event”:{“id”:25,“url”:“[Open with Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/success-banner/?borderTop=false&darkBackground=true&etcher-version=1.7.3&api-version=2&optOutAnalytics=false%22,%22method%22:%22GET%22,%22timestamp%22:1642652160139.2988,%22resourceType%22:%22mainFrame%22,%22ip%22:%2254.206.202.192%22,%22fromCache%22:false,%22statusLine%22:%22HTTP/1.1) 200”,“statusCode”:200,“responseHeaders”:{“age”:[“49451”],“cache-control”:[“public, max-age=0, must-revalidate”],“content-encoding”:[“br”],“content-length”:[“6203”],“content-type”:[“text/html;

Do you have a spare SD card to try flashing the image? What image are you trying to flash? Does it have SHA checksum on the download page? ---

I have a similar error: attention something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, plesase check that the archive is not corrupted… I am trying to flash from URL: [https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/10.1/haos\_rpi4-64-10.1.img.xz](https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/10.1/haos_rpi4-64-10.1.img.xz) ☹
